Plugs absolutely cannot be wired in series. You might find things like a string of Christmas lights wired in series in which case the voltage across each light would equal the voltage (110) divided by the number of lights.
Interesting fun fact: you can have a 3-wire conductor feeding two branch circuits (with a common neutral). The neutral can be the same size as the two hot wires because the two circuits are 180 degrees out of phase; if both circuits were to carry the same load the neutral wire will not be carrying any load.
